Hibernian Women sign Spartans striker Hannah Jordan
Hibernian Women have announced the signing of forward Hannah Jordan on a one-year deal. The 20-year-old scored 13 league goals during the 2024/25 season for Spartans – the most from any individual in the division outside of the top five clubs. Jordan was also nominated for the PFA Scotland SWPL Young Player of the Year award, while she won the November 2024 SWPL Player of the Month award after netting four goals in three games that month – including a hat-trick versus Montrose. She has accrued 10 appearances for Scotland Under-19s, scoring once in a UEFA Women's U19 Euro qualifying match victory over Liechtenstein, and has featured in the Scotland Under-23 squad as recently as April 2025. Hibs Women head coach Grant Scott commented: 'I'm delighted to have Hannah join the Club. To have another one of Scotland's top young talents decide to join Hibs to further their development is fantastic. 'After a decent goal scoring season in a team that had a tough campaign last season, we think she can kick-on and add to our attacking options.' Speaking after signing her contract, Jordan said: 'I am looking to make the next step in my career and I think this is the perfect place for me to thrive in a full-time environment. 'Grant sold the move to me well. Seeing what the team did last season, winning the league, this is something that I wanted to be a part of.' Like this: Like Related

Kathleen McGovern named ScottishPower Women's Premier League Player of the Month for May
Hibernian Women's striker Kathleen McGovern has been named the ScottishPower Women's Premier League Player of the Month for May. After winning the award for the first time in December 2024 and earning it once more in April, this is now McGovern's third Player of the Month award of the 2024/25 campaign. The 22-year-old has had an incredible season for the Hibs, with her 25 goals and two assists in the league crucial to the ScottishPower Women's Premier League title success. This excellent goalscoring form carried into the most important games of the season, as McGovern netted five times in four games during Hibs final run-in. An Edinburgh Derby brace at Oriam to defeat city rivals Hearts was promptly followed up by a vital finish against title challengers Glasgow City at Meadowbank Stadium. A second brace of the month for the number 10 was sealed in the final home match of the season, as Hibs sealed a pivotal 4-2 victory over Celtic leading into the final matchday. While not on the scoresheet against Rangers at Ibrox as the Hibs clinched the league title, McGovern was at hand to provide the all-important assist for Linzi Taylor's title-clinching strike. Six goal contributions across May 2025 – consisting of five goals and the most important assist of the entire campaign – has earned McGovern a first-ever Scotland 'A' Squad call-up. Including Abbie Ferguson and Eilidh Adams' respesctive award wins, Hibernian FC Women players have made up 50% of all winners of the SWPL Player of the Month prize this season after previously going two seasons without a single award.
